Brunswick Superspeed Cushion Speed?

I installed new Brunswick Superspeed Cushions on my GC III, issue is it seems to play slower compared to other GC's I have played on. I checked everything else; nose height is at 1 7/16 all the way around, rail bolts are tight, rail cloth is tight, cushions are well glued to subrail. Cloth installed is Simonis 860 Tour Blue which is well stretched and always clean, I am also using Centennial balls. I can't seem to figure out anything else. The cue ball just barely makes it to the 4th rail with a firm stroke from the foot spot. I know it is still within standards of the minimum travel of 4 to 4 ½ lengths of the table without jumping. I checked the cushion speed in our local poolrooms, Diamond Pros and GC tables and with the same stroke the cue ball makes it down to the 5th rail. Now, I am thinking I should have spent an extra $200 and purchased Artemis cushions. Any thoughts from the experts on this? Hefe
